The revolution has begun! Web video will be freed from the shackles of the MPEG-LA and the dreaded claws of patents and incomprehensible licenses! Sorry, I got a little carried away there. Anywho, YouTube has announced all new videos uploaded to the site will be transcoded into WebM, and that the most important part of the site's catalogue is already available in WebM.

Only two of these eight tablets (the Panasonic Viera and the Lenovo LePad) will not ship with support for WebM. All of the others will ship with support for WebM, and it appears most would feature hardware support for webM.
